What I Will Miss About Living in Ecuador

- Not driving a car, being able to walk everywhere (Save $$$$ on Gas)

- A $2 three-course meal with dessert

- The variety of fruit and fruit juices (Quiero una jugo de mora AND the best pineapple I’ve ever eaten)

- High-priced fast-food and American candy (good incentive to not eat it)

- Empanadas (compare that to hot pockets, which are not as good)

- The breakfast at El Colibri

- Coup attempts that got us out of work

- Living in a country with vastly different geographical landscapes (the coast, highlands, amazon and galapagos)

- The passion in the culture and people

- Being able to survive without a cellphone

- Television isn’t the center of the living room (the only time it was turned on was during the coup attempt)

- Everything being so close (grocery stores, gym, cafes)

- Free Salsa lessons on Wednesday night in The Mariscal District

- Not living to work, but working to live
